Regions



A region (also known as map) contains a number of areas, routes, route locks, and treasure chests.

Traveling to an available region is done via the "World Map" icon in the "Home" menu. The world map is unlocked following the completion of Runic Temple Basement in Chapter I: Blank Slate.
